## Intro
- **We'll be using `yml/yaml` format for all examples down below, I recommend using `yml` over `toml` as it is easier to read.**
- You can find any [YML to TOML](https://www.google.com/search?q=yml+to+toml) converters if necessary.

## Override theme template
By Hugo's Lookup Order, you can override any part of a theme that you want. The following is a quick example.
Let's say you wish the `list` was different. All you have to do is copy the `list` template:
```shell
your-site/themes/papermod/layouts/_defaults/list.html
```
And paste it under your own `layouts` folder:
```shell
your-site/layouts/_defaults/list.html
```
Then you're free to make any changes you want to the `list`.
When Hugo builds your site, your copy of `list.html` will be used instead of the theme's `list.html`.

```yml

or set `HUGO_ENV` as "production" in system env-vars
---
## Archive Page
```shell
.
├── config.yml
├── content/
│ ├── archives.md <--- Create archive.md here
│ └── posts/
├── static/
└── themes/
└── hugo-PaperMod/
```
and add the following to it
```yml
---
title: "Archive"
layout: "archives"
url: "/archives/"
summary: archives
---
```
---
## Custom Head / Footer
Custom css/js can be added by way mentioned below.
```
.(site root)
├── config.yml
├── content/
├── theme/hugo-PaperMod/
└── layouts
├── partials
│ ├── comments.html
│ ├── extend_footer.html <---
│ └── extend_head.html <---
└── robots.txt
```
Create a html page in directory structure as shown above.
Contents of `extend_head.html` will be added to `head` of page.
and contents of `extend_footer.html` will be added to bottom of page.

## Pin a Post
Post can be pinned/ displayed top on the list by adding a `weight=<num>` var to page-variables
example:
```yml
---
title: "My Important post"
date: 2020-09-15T11:30:03+00:00
weight: 1
---
```
```yml
---
title: "My 2nd Important post"
date: 2020-09-15T11:30:03+00:00
weight: 2
---
```

## Adding Custom Favicon(s)
We support the following paths under `/static` directory
and can be added accordingly.
- `favicon.ico`
- `favicon-16x16.png`
- `favicon-32x32.png`
- `apple-touch-icon.png`
- `safari-pinned-tab.svg`
- `site.webmanifest`
1. Favicon(s) can be generated by [Favicon.io](https://favicon.io)
and can be simply put in `/static` folder.
2. Other way is to add favicon(s) NOT located in `/static` folder.
In site config add the following:
```
params:
assets:
favicon: "<link / absolute url>"
favicon16x16: "<link / absolute url>"
favicon32x32: "<link / absolute url>"
apple_touch_icon: "<link / absolute url>"
safari_pinned_tab: "<link / absolute url>"
```
- `absolute url` means direct links to external resource: ex. https://web.site/someimage.png
example:
```
params:
assets:
favicon: "/favicon.ico"
favicon16x16: "/favicon-16x16.png"
favicon32x32: "/favicon-32x32.png"
apple_touch_icon: "/apple-touch-icon.png"
safari_pinned_tab: "/safari-pinned-tab.svg"
```
